    The last person to post a picture from their last bike ride wins access to the white courtesy phone.

    made it out with the boy last night... He's 13 and didn't break a sweat... he still has lots to learn about technical riding, but the fitness he gets from xc ski training is ridiculous... you sure that's not a picture of a new housing development? was visiting a buddy who lives there over...

    $4/gas... coming this summer to a station near you...

    precisely! I had half a tank last night on my way back from a ride. Decided to swing by the gas station, but there was already a queue. eff that. I'm going to hold my breath and hope things come down in the next week or so... I find that whenever these price-hike announcements are made, the...

    ***is this Tuesday? GMT***

    Managed a lunch-time sneak. First dirt since the elbow surgery (4 weeks ago tomorrow). No lasting pain. Definitely out of shape, but hopefully that will come back eventually. Conditions were glorious: saw 4 people the whole time, not too hot, no bugs, great line of sight, and other than the...

    Wednesday Schmendsday

    well... it's partly down to the decentralized nature of government administration. these sorts of decisions are made not by the Department (in my case Environment and Climate Change), but by Public Services and Procurement (responsible for public works and real property). The thing is they have...

    Wednesday Schmendsday

    the reason they gave us is that this building is leased, and they are trying to consolidate us into fewer buildings since we are in the office fewer days... That part makes sense, but what's infuriating is that instead of consolidating us into buildings serviced by rapid transit (Ottawa just...

    Wednesday Schmendsday

    biked into the office for the first time since the elbow surgery. feels good. it's such a nice bike ride too, it's really too bad we'll be moving offices over the summer.

    the random thought thread

    I'm not sure if I'm just getting old, or if Pinkbike is just getting bad, but I haven't really seen an article on their front page I've been interested in reading for a few weeks now.

    $$$$ In the tropics Thursday GTM ¥¥¥¥

    My first is a giant pain in the butt. not very friendly, distant and cold. the moments of tenderness are few and far between, but oh so rewarding when they happen. My second is the opposite: high emotiotnal IQ, very caring and warm. But it took him 7 years to sleep through the night. It was...

    One Eyed Mans Day

    Mornin! Kid A is out of the woods with his illness, but still wants to sleep in this morning. fine whatever, I don't have the energy to fight right now. Because, kid B is getting sicker by the minute. Fever, sore throat and coughing. He "slept" in my bed last night, but was up at 3:30 and...
